Approach to learning and assessment

The delivery of this program is blended comprising of face-to-face and online learning, incorporating scheduled face-to-face classes, pre-recorded lectures, online activities and self-directed study.Throughout your program, you will be exposed to a variety of approaches to teaching and learning methods. These approaches, tailor-made for each course, align consistently with the learning outcomes and core capabilities they aim to foster. You will encounter a diverse range of teaching, learning, and assessments, including:

Classroom teaching: Teaching within a classroom/interactive setting may encompass a variety of activities such as seminars, presentations, group debates, and student-initiated discussions among others. This approach to teaching is designed to enhance your comprehension of the syllabus content while fostering necessary employability skills. It is intended to offer an atmosphere where you can ask questions and receive direct feedback from your seminar, contribute to class discussion and practical application of theories are encouraged.

Flexible delivery: The teaching program will integrate the use of online resources for a comprehensive learning experience. These could encompass resources such as seminar notes to enhance knowledge acquisition, along with assessment and feedback mechanisms such as interactive discussion boards to ensure a holistic approach to education. This will allow students to study with more flexibility such as self-studying from home, or on their own time, allowing them to work around their other commitments.

Problem-Based Learning: Problem-based learning engages you in analytical thinking, research and provision of solutions. Employers value problem-solving skills and appreciate employees who are able to think critically and work collaboratively to come up with innovative solutions.

Cooperative learning: Enables you to work in collaborative or team-based tasks. Cooperative learning encourages students to work together to develop a deeper understanding of topics by sharing information and ideas, as well as providing peer support. Working in teams also helps to develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, negotiation and problem-solving.

Assignments and projects: These may be either research-oriented or problem-solving-based, can be tackled either individually or in groups. These tasks offer valuable experience in conducting thorough research and writing compellingly to communicate your results and suggestions to diverse audiences.

Authentic and Industry-Relevant Learning: The program places a significant emphasis on real-world relevance. You are encouraged to critically evaluate industry trends and reflect your experiences to gain further insights.The classic approach of examinations has been phased out from our curriculum, replaced by a more relevant and practical approach - applied projects that serve as our primary assessment tasks. These applied and authentic assessments lean more towards being student-centric, measuring how effectively a student can transition the knowledge and competencies acquired in the classroom to real-world workplace situations and scenarios.
